Crap Shoot

When I have to be somewhere early (i.e. work), I try to have at least a vague idea of an outfit the night before. More often than I would like, this planning doesn't happen, which makes for exasperated mornings involving changing multiple times, running late, and feeling dissatisfied with my final ensemble.
But sometimes, just sometimes, everything falls into place. Yesterday was such a morning. I put very little thought into my clothes, left the house (on time) in the first and only look I tried on, and found myself happy with the result.
Staying true to my personal style while dressing appropriately for work can be a fine line to walk, but I thought this look had a nice mixture of color, pattern, texture and layering without being over-the-top.

Lol, your just like me. I have a faint idea of what i would wear but im normally late to where ever i need to be due to the fact i changed my attire about 5 times before i left. and even when i leave i feel like im not at my best.......

The drape meets the lapel of your blazer, making the proportion quite keen. Without the popping yellow color of your skirt, the outfit would be borderline mundane- especially with a mellow toned shoe-but it's all pulled together very-well, well.

I really understand how you feel! I usually even hang an outfit the next morning up but somehow ending up wearing something else! The mix and match in your outfit works really well tho- and that jacket is cute :)
